Nev Schulman isn't going to 'Catfish' a production company into making a reality show about his new real estate career ... he wants to become a great agent first!

We caught up with the television personality this week and asked him if he'd consider doing a TV show about his burgeoning career in the industry ... but, he says his first priority is to learn the business and collect a few clients.

Schulman says he's still pretty green in helping people find their dream homes ... and, he wouldn't want to add the extra demands a reality show might put on the whole process at this point in his career.

New surveillance video shows Tyler Robinson -- the man suspected of fatally shooting Charlie Kirk Wednesday -- walking toward Utah Valley University's campus hours before he allegedly pulled the trigger.

Check out the clip -- a slender, young-looking man casually strolls in a residential neighborhood in Orem, Utah just outside the university's official grounds. He's wearing a strikingly similar outfit to the one officials said Tyler was sporting the morning of the shooting -- a maroon shirt, black cap, light-colored shorts and sneakers.

This would be the first time we are seeing him in the outfit on the day of the incident, as the FBI only released images of him in the black clothing he wore to allegedly commit the crime.

Shaquille O'Neal says he's ready to take over Hollywood with TMZ ... offering to host an upcoming edition of the "TMZ After Dark" tour!

The NBA Hall of Famer told us he's ready to join up with fans of the show for a night of revelry ... as long as we do it up as big as the 7'1" inch celeb himself.

Shaq tells us he's down to hit the normal places our tour goes -- Scum & Villainy, Saddle Ranch, TomTom, Roosterfish or the like -- but, he wants the evening to end with a party of 100K strong ... all raging to DJ Diesel himself.

Ellen DeGeneres may no longer live in California, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have some legal issues in the Golden State ... the comedian is facing a new lawsuit involving an alleged car crash in her former town.

In new court documents obtained by TMZ ... a driver claims Ellen ran a stop sign and hit another female driver in a vehicle dust-up that took place in October 2023.

Per the lawsuit, the woman was driving her Tesla in Santa Barbara County when she approached an intersection with stop signs posted in all directions. She says she stopped at her stop sign, and even made sure to check for oncoming traffic.

Cenk Uygur -- host of "The Young Turks" podcast -- says political violence needs to end ... and, he's passionately ripping extremists on both sides.

The progressive political commentator who co-founded the political action committee Justice Democrats joined us Friday on "TMZ Live" to address Charlie Kirk's assassination and its impact on our society going forward.

Uygur talked about how some on the left had a problem with him grabbing a beer with Kirk after they disagreed on a host of contentious issues, but he says it's essential to remain civilized ... especially when you vehemently disagree with someone, like he did with Kirk.

Taylor Swift would very much like to be excluded from this narrative ... she's making it clear she has "no role" in the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni legal battle.

In a letter obtained by TMZ and addressed to the judge overseeing the case ... attorneys for the Grammy winner clarify that Swift has NOT agreed to give a deposition in the "It Ends With Us" lawsuit saga.

Instead, her camp agreed to provide her availability ... only in the case she's forced to give testimony.

A lot of football fans were livid about "NFL RedZone" including commercials for the first time this season ... but the program's beloved host, Scott Hanson, tells TMZ Sports he's thankful fans are still loving the product after Week 1.

The commotion was sparked prior to the 2025-26 campaign ... when folks learned "seven hours of commercial-free football" was a thing of the past.

The reality -- a whopping one total minute of ads (four 15-second spots) sprinkled throughout the day of coverage ... proving the product largely remained the same.

Akon's wife has apparently had enough -- she just filed for divorce!!!

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Tomeka Thiam, who says she married the rapper/musician back on September 15, 1996, is pulling the plug on their marriage -- citing the usual irreconcilable differences.

Akon has been cryptic on how many "wives" he's had in the past, but Tomeka says she shares a 17-year-old child with Akon.

Discord was not used by Tyler Robinson to either plan the murder of Charlie Kirk or to hide the evidence ... TMZ has learned.

A Discord spokesperson tells TMZ ... "In the course of our investigation, we identified a Discord account associated with the suspect, but have found no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord."

The statement goes on ... "The messages referenced in recent reporting about planning details do not appear to be Discord messages. These were communications between the suspect's roommate and a friend after the shooting, where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere."

Authorities say Robinson's roommate showed them Robinson had made "a joke" on Discord and then showed investigators the messages, which included "'Tyler' stating a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush ... and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel." Discord seems to be saying these communications were not on its platform ... rather on a note that Robinson had written, off the site, to his roommate.

BTW ... Discord says it has removed Robinson's account.

The person of interest in the Charlie Kirk assassination walked by several neighborhood cameras -- as the FBI said -- and TMZ has video that appears to show him walking toward the Utah campus where Kirk was shot ... while concealing his weapon.

TMZ obtained chilling video that shows a man dressed in all black matching the description of the FBI's person of interest hobbling down a residential street Wednesday in Orem, Utah at 11:49 AM ... heading toward the Utah Valley University campus just a couple of blocks away.

Remember, the FBI has said the individual arrived on campus at 11:52 AM.

After the shooting -- at 12:29 PM, just 6 minutes after Charlie was shot and as campus is being cleared -- you see students walking in the opposite direction, and in the background, in an unpaved area behind some homes, there's someone dressed in black running through a backyard.

Everyone else in the video is calmly walking down the paved road away from the scene.

Check it out ... Chanel and Dom are serenaded with the "Happy Birthday" tune while waiting to blow out the candles on their shared birthday cake ... looking as in love as ever.

Though the celebratory dessert may've been more for Chanel, as it featured a shirtless Dom on the icing. We'd take a slice of that cake ... but we digress!!!

Brett Favre took in the Packers vs. Lions game on Sunday, and while he loved what his former team did on the field, he made it clear he was not impressed one bit by Detroit's play.

The Hall of Famer sat down with TMZ Sports a day after his ex-squad beat up its NFC North rival at Lambeau Field ... and he glowed about the green and gold's performance.

He told us he thought Jordan Love was "outstanding" in the 27-13 win ... adding that Green Bay "dominated every facet of the game."

Harry Jowsey is still hoping to work his way into Sia's "Elastic Heart" ... even though he's also "100 percent" committed to getting married on his new reality show.

We caught up with the Netflix personality at LAX airport on Wednesday, where Harry told us just how excited he is to find love on his upcoming show, titled "Let’s Marry Harry."

While Harry stayed tight-lipped on the specifics about the show -- claiming Netflix didn't trust him with the details due to his big mouth -- the "Too Hot to Handle" alum made it clear he's serious about tying the knot ... as he's ready to start a family with his wife, whoever that ends up being.

Charlie Kirk was loving every minute of his college campus tour, was in great spirits and never indicated he had any concerns about his personal safety ... according to a friend who talked to the conservative activist the day before he was fatally shot in the neck in Utah.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Charlie talked to a buddy for about 20 minutes over the phone Tuesday, and during the call Charlie was looking forward to his upcoming Turning Point USA events and speaking opportunities.

We're told Charlie never voiced any concerns about his safety while on the road ... and in extensive conversations with his friend, Kirk had never once spoken about his personal safety, at a public event or anywhere else.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury says President Trump and top Republicans are working together to prevent the public from getting to the bottom of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The Congresswoman from New Mexico joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked her about the Trump references in the Epstein birthday book that was just released by Congress.

Stansbury, a Democrat, says Trump has known what Epstein's been about for decades ... and she says the President is now working to prevent the full release of all the Epstein files.

Jerry Jones still has one very large Cowboys fan in his corner despite his shocking trade of Micah Parsons -- Shaquille O'Neal!!!

The Big Diesel told TMZ Sports this week he still has Jones' back ... this despite the Dallas owner jettisoning his favorite team's best player to Green Bay late last month.

In fact, Shaq jokingly threatened to get physical with our Michael Babcock for even remotely implying that Dallas supporters should turn on the Cowboys' boss.
